HOLY CRAP.....

that looks really bad, hope guy is ok and will live. I wouldnt think a passenger would survive if there was one.

Can anyone identify the white vehicle from the little bit that shows?  Could the young girl be involved?  I can't imagine them allowing just anybody to hang around the accident scene.

th
I'm in agreement with "Big Red" The white car appears to be a Camry. I would think there was someone driving the Camaro  as some impact debris is between the two cars indicating the collision was in that lane. My guess is the Camaro got crossed up and entered the Camry's path, their traveling speed must have been  relatively close to the same for an impact of that magnitude to result in the cars ending up so close together.  
If the Camaro was parked and got hit that hard by the Camry, it would have jettisoned the Camaro  a lot farther down the road away from the Camry. Just my conjecture.

Someone racing dads Camry against someone who wasn't going to let that late model ricer beat him maybe?

It could have been a crossed up Camaro.  Or it could have been the Camaro was making a left turn and got whacked in a similiar way.

A first, it looked like a movie scene but the picture came from a local newspaper site in the US.

I'll have to search for it again. I remember it was just a photo and a small caption.

if you look next to the windsheld it looks like the door is open so maybe someone was in the car

Car that hit the Camaro looks like a full sized Buick to me

Found some more info on it.


"The remains of a 1968 Camaro sits sideways in Poplar street just west of Parkview Wednesday afternoon. Witnesses said the driver of the Camaro appeared to have lost control just before it slid into the path of an oncoming westbound vehicle."

[Mike DC (formerly miked)]

Yep.  Makes sense. 

Too much motor, too little handling, and too little driver.  Sounds like he lost it on his own.

TERRE HAUTE November 07, 2008 12:13 am

— Three people were taken to the hospital after a two-car accident Thursday afternoon.
A 16-year-old male was heading east on Poplar Street around 3:30 p.m. when, while trying to accelerate, he lost control of a 1968 Camaro and spun into the westbound lane, according to Terre Haute police.
His vehicle was hit on the passenger’s side by a Toyota Camry driven by a female with a male passenger, according to police.
The pair were taken to Terre Haute Regional Hospital with minor injuries while the 16-year-old was taken to Union Hospital before being transferred to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.
Both airbags in the Camry deployed. Police were unsure if the 16-year-old was wearing a seat belt.
No further details were available at presstime.

That's hard to take. My first car was a 68 Camaro. It had a strait 6 and a 3 speed stick and I had no problems getting sideways with it.
